Mechanism Branch
Layer 1
Mechanisms
Top-level concepts: biophysical action modes such as heterodimerization, photocleavage, or RNA binding.
Layer 2
Architectures
Arrangements that realize or deploy mechanisms, including switches, construct patterns, and delivery strategies.
Layer 3
Components
Low-level parts and sequence-defined elements used inside architectures, including protein domains and RNA elements.
Technique Branch
Layer 1
Approaches
High-level engineering practices such as computational design, directed evolution, sequence verification, and functional assay.
Layer 2
Methods
Concrete methods used to design, build, verify, or characterize engineered systems.

LiCre is a single-chain light-inducible Cre recombinase optogenetic switch. The supplied evidence supports that blue light can activate Cre-dependent recombination outputs, including induction of antibiotic resistance gene expression in Escherichia coli.
Phototropin is a plant blue-light receptor protein, exemplified by Avena sativa PHOT1/NPH1, that contains two FMN-binding LOV domains and a C-terminal serine/threonine kinase domain. It acts as a light-activated kinase in which LOV2-mediated conformational changes are coupled to kinase activation and signaling.
